PI UT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The revolutionary faction have contrived to dress up a rich olio from the ingredients afforded them by this " much ado-about-Durk, n" business. The ingenious romancer of the London Review may be considered as chef de cuisine on the ()erasion for the long famishing establishment of ultra - Resdicalism, and by dint of the same sort of talent as enabled a celebrated Parisian artist some years ago to me:nufacture half-a-dozen entrees of the most delicate fish out of a single calf's head, he has rendered it plain to the most ordinary palates (we do not say to any others), that the French rebellion in Lower Canada for behalf of obsolete feudalism, for rampant Popery, for the exclusion of English colonists and of English laws, has been a " war for liberty !" while by a dextrous dovetailing of British domestic questions with Canadian, and of auxiliaries demanded by the " Movement," with qualities pos sessed by Lord Durham, the Reviewer has proved that Lord Durham was made for North America, and North America for him ; that all the Noble ma-tyr's thoughts, and words, and deeds, and projects, whether for the impunity of rebel guilt, the encouragement of insur rection, the exasperation of hatred against England in the breasts of the Lower Canadians, by threatening them with reforms fatal to their dream of nationality, the pampering of pirate arrogance on the frontier, by appealing to repul7- lican prejudice against the opinions of his own countrymen, were one and all inspired by " absolute wisdom," and fraught with everlastinghappiness to North America. Nor is this all. The English half of the catalogue of revolutionary wants and of Durham remedies detailed in the Review, we have scarcely yet so much as glanced at. After lapping the British colonies in Elysium,it remains for Lord Durham, and for him alone, to begin the application ofsome analogous pro cess in the United Kingdom, by turning England herself into arepublican paradise. Now, only listen t o this oracle of both worlds. We quote the extracts published yesterday in a weekly journal, the Spectator, the question being what sort of a leader the movement party required, and where such a man could be found. The answer of the Reviewer to his own interrogatories is as follows :—" Lord Durham was this man. Of no other man was there the same reason to hope, both that he might be willing to put himself at the head of the Liberals' " (read " Ultra Radicals"), " and that he might be able, by doing so, to render them the predominant party." The vaulting ambition of these phi losophers knows no bounds. " And he alone was so marked out for the position by every consideration of character, station, and past services, that if he chose to assume it, he could do so without rivalry or dispute ; that all the best heads and hands which the party could produce would flock round him with their services and their counsels ; and the whole of its effective strength would come forth at hi s voice, and give him that decisive majority in the House of Commons with which he might again break the power of the aristocratic faction, and this time provide more effectually that the dead might not be able to revive." Let us, then, take this purblind fanaticism in its pro gress, and " shoot the folly as it flies." What reason has the Westminster Reviewer to hope that Lord Durham might lie able, by putting himself at the head of those whom he calls " Liberals," to make them the " predominant party ?" Does he know so very little of this country as to imagine that there is one man in it less inclined to promote the cause and purposes of what he terms " liberalism" than Lord Durham himself? He talks of Lord Durham's " cha racter, station, and past services," fitting him for the leader ship of the Movement ; and what is there in Lord Durham's character so to qualify him ! The Noble Lord is by mental constitution an oligarch ; not one in England more arro gant, or more exclusive, or more tenacious of those inci dental privileges and outward advantages bestowed upon him by his " station," nor gifted with a larger share of lordly sourness and petulance (this at least is said for him in the north of England) at the presumption of any vile plebeian corse " coming between the wind and his nobility." Such a man may, to serve his own per sonal (whether aspiring or vindictive) ends, put himself at the head of a body of " Liberals," or stand upon their shoulders, the more easily to jump into a marquisate or dukedom for himself, or into another star and riband, if not ashamed of some of those he wears already ; but as for dragging up any of his " Liberal" supporters after him, " that," according to the phrase of poor King William," is quite a different thing." We can assure this dealer in Uto pian visions, that his friends of the Movement may " throw their greasy caps" at the fulfilment of any such fond expec tations by Lord Durham. Here again, to show what are the real projects of the London and Westminster Review, he talks of Lord Durham making the Liberals of the Move ment " the predominant party." Why, whither does he want to move ? One who harps so fearfully upon " mov ing" might condescend to inform us, were it but for variety, whereabouts he intends "to stop." He ought to tell us, if he knows himself, how many steps further we can proceed without becoming at once a democratical republic. There is nothing substantial between Great Bri tain and a democratic government save the Church of Eng land and the House of Lords. The Monarch without them is but a name ; yet the politics of the Westminster Review march on avowedly to the subversion of the Church, and in this very adulatory offering to Lord Durham the writer stimulates his angry tool to " break down the power of the aristocratic faction," meaning by the term " fac tion," as there applied, the great bulk of the rank, pro perty, and intelligence of England. As for the intellec tual power of the aristocracy, it might possibly, as an ob struction in his Lordship's way, not find much favour with Lord Durham ; but the other attributes of his own " Or der"—viz. the titles, estates, and influence therefrom de rivable, we should marvel greatly if the Noble Lord per mitted the little finger of Radicalism to approach them. He knows by this time that the ballot paroxysm is over. It has now become a mere grotesque exhibition. But the Reviewer proceeds with his reverie—" Nations are not governed nor saved by clever personalities, or dialectic acuteness, or book knowledge, or general theories. If they were the Liberal party would not now be in search of a leader. A true politician knows how to put all these things to their proper use. But the man we want is the man who can recommend himself, not solely by the ability to talk, or even merely to think, but by the ability to do. We want a man who can wrestle with real difficulties, and subdue them—who can read the aim of selfish natures, bard to be spelled —can lead men's stubborn minds to things against which their passions rise in arms—who needs not sacrifice policy to justice, or justice to policy, but knows how to do justice, and to attain the ends of po licy by it. We want a man who can sustain himself where the consequences of every error he commits, instead of being left to accumulate for posterity, come back to him the next week or the next month, and throw themselves in his path—where there is a real thing to be done, a posi tive result to be brought about, to have accomplished which is success,not to have accomplished it defeat." Now, whether will the rational portion of our readers regard this as an indirectenumeration of the merits and capabilities of Lord Durham, or as an ironical, sarcastic, yet exulting triumph over his misfortunes during the last six months! Whatever may most tend to the salvation of a people, it is assuredly not impetuous precipitancy, dictatorial arrogance, or ignorance in a statesman of his own constitutional powers. If' the Movement party are still "in search of a leader," it may be because their schemes are so absurd or mischievous that no politician with talents which fit him for an English party leader will have anything to do with them. If the man they want is the man who can not solely talk, but " do," he can hardly be Lord Durham, who has been talking all his life, and never doing anything. If they want a man who can wrestle with real difficulties and subdue them, it must be a different guess person from Lord Durham, who has created imaginary difficulties for himself, and finished not by subduing, but sinking under them. If they want a man who can bend " men's minds to things against which their passions rise in arms," it cannot be Lord Durham, who has yet to learn, that he who would combat the " passions" of others must begin by vanquishin g his own. If they want a man who, without sacrificing justice to policy, or policy to justice, can do jus tice and attain the ends of policy by it, they do not cer tainly want Lord Durham, who has sacrificed the ends of policy by violating at once the rules of justice, and with his eyes open, as he formally confesses, the clearest provision s of law. Finally, if the Revolutionists want a leader " where there is a real thing to be done, a positive result to be brought about, to have accomplished which is success, not to have accomplished it defeat," they indulge the most cruel derision at the expense of Lord Durham, as the priests of a spurious worship are wont to do at the idols which their own hands have made ; for this lucklessauto its autocrat is ju s t t h e man, who, having a " real thing to do" — viz., to tranquil lise Lower Canada, and settle future government on principles which should approximate the mi n d s o f the people towards Great Britain, did the very opposite to that one " real thing," havi n g confirmed the Canadia ns in their antipathy to the Britilt mea sures of his future policy, which empire, isufferedr' and by to get the wind, every one of which threatened the favourite projects of the Canadian race with destruction— having and induced themprovoked them to an open displ a y of hatred towards himself, to carry on preparations for a second and more desperate rebellion du r in g the whole period of his brief and abor tive government, thus failingto accomplish the one real thing" which he undertook, and being, therefore, in the very words and sense of his Radical glorifier " defeated." If; then, achievements such as these be satisfactory testimonials of qualification for a " Movement" leader, the " searchers" need be at no great loss. They will find a score of them at any club-house in St. James's -street, and if they come to public auction, there would be but languid competition, we conjecture, for the " Durham lot."—Times. We have copied from the Spectator a letter addressed to that journal by Mr. Edward Gibbon Wakefield, on the subject of a statement with :regard to him in one of W. Roebuck's letters. Mr. Gibbon Wakefield tells us THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1838 he has returned from Canada quite an altered man. Long before the rebellion in Lower Uanada he had deeply sym pathised with the majority of the people as represented by the House of Assembly, and imagined that the contest in that province resembled the 3ispute between England and her old colonies in America, though he was a good deal stag gered with the facility with which the rebellion was crushed. But personal inquiry on the spot, with the best opportunities for getting at the truth, has induced him to abandon his old opinions and sympathies. He now acknowledges that he was blinded and misted by a course of misrepresentation — a regular system of delusion, which, while it occasions the most erroneous views here as to the nature of the dispute in Lower Canada, has a still more mischievous effect in deceiving the French Canadians as to the state of feeling in this country ith respect to their posi tion and objects. Many well-meaning persons in this country were led; by a suppoled analogy between the cases of Lower Canada and our old colonies, to sympathise with the French C,nalians. We said from the beginning that the analogy did not hold. And many of those who at one time were dispose:l to think the French Canadians in the right, and to question the soundness of the views we have advocated throughout, have come round to our opi nions. With respect to those who, like Mr. Gibbon Wake field, have had the advantage of visiting Canada, they are one and all opposed to the el.dais of the French Canadians ; for, as we observed on Saturday, with the exception of some three or four individuals, whose advocacy of the French carries with it the authm-ity that the advocacy by an advo cate of a client ought to carry, there is not a man in this country of British blood who has ever been in Lower Ca nada who is not most decidedly opposed to the claims of the French, and satisfied that no effective improvement can take place till the province is made thoroughly British. Mr. Gibbon Wakefield seems to think that the system if delusion cannot be maintained much longer. as such will be the effect of the truth beieg known here (which it will pro bably be ere long), that many will only have " to wander at the depth of their previous ignorance."—Morning Chronicle. The Ministerial journals have eagerly seized upon the circumstance of a conditional rule for a criminal information having been granted by the Court of Queen's Bunch against some Magistrates of Berkshire, to vilify the whole body of the rural M-(ditracy, and to depreciate the admi nistration of "unpaid" justice throughout the kingdom. The facts of the cwqi, as far as they have yet transpired, are before our readers in our law report. But as the rule nisi was obtained mcrdv on a statement e.r parte, it would only have been decent is ;veil as just in our Ministerial Contemporaries to have abstained from pronouncing their solemn decision upon the case until the accused pa s had been heard in their ozva defence. Liberal "justice" disdains, however, to ho bound by the vulgar and antiquated obligation of hearing both sides preparatory to pronouncing its judgment and its sentence. Ac cordingly, the Lib( rat Press has already pro pounced the condom- tiikn of the four Berkshire Magistrates, and not ons , ' pronounced their condemnation, but that of all the rural ALgistrates of England. If a criminal informatioo is .- - otnetimes granted against an " unpaid" country •Magis:rite,-has a similar process never issued against a metrpoli!a-t stipendiary Magistrate? We think we recollect i(istaoccs both of criminal informations and dismissals from cake in the history of the stipendiary administration of justi:te in the metroiolis. But we never visited on all or the mjc,rity of the stipendiary Magistrates the acts of a few unjust, iganrant, or wrong-headed indi viduals among them. Leon if the rule against the Berk shire Magistrates were tnade absolute, the case would still have to be tried by a Jmo y, and ought not to be prejudiced. As it stands, however, at present, not a word has yet been heard from the accused parties whom liberal " justice" has precipitately condemned.—Morning Herald. Some persons whose attention to political affairs is only occasional, are innocent enough to ask what can the pokey of the present Ministers be ? To what can they look for• ward as the result of the 100 - sening system which prevails in all directions, and with respect to almost every public institution of the country ? The true answer to these ques tions we believe to th It, in the more elevated and states, manlike sense of the wor-:l, our present Ministers have no policy. They do not look forward. They have neither the capacity nor the c)tirag,e for laying down plans of which the completion and the effect. are to be found iu future years. They do not even take the sli4itest care to provide against the occurrence sometime hence of events of such a character, as were they about to occur now, even these Ministers must oppose. To do the best they can with events as they arise—to work their way on from month to month, and from day to day, with as little labour and as little anxiety to themselves as possible—that is the business of the pre sent Ministers. It does not deserve to be called policy. They are not earnest to do, but glad to be allowed not to . do. They wish that people would be quiet, and let them take their salaries, their amusement, and their rest. As to the institutions of the country, all they appear to wish for is, that they who are knocking them down would make as little noise as possible in the operation. They do not like to be disturbed. The dwelling of Great Britain's Prime Minister is no longer the abode of anxious thought and ar duous endeavour, but resembles rather the dreamily ima gined haunt of the poet of Indolence " A pleasing land of drowsy-head it was Of dreams that wave before the half shut eye ; And of gay castles in the clouds that pass, For ever flushing round a summer sky : There eke the sift delights that witchingly Instil a wanton sweetness through the breast - And the calm pleasures always hovered nigh; But whate'er smacked of 'noyance or unrest, Was far, far off expelled from this delicious nest." We do believe that if any familiar friend were to ask of Lord Melbourne what he supposed could be the political state of Great Britain and Ireland fifty years hence, re sulting from the laissez faire mode of no-government which at present subsists, his Lordship would laugh outright at such an over-anxious inquirer, and tell him that fifty years hence might take care of itself—it was no affair of his ! He has no higher view than that of making the world as easy to himself and friends as may be during the days that he has to deal with it. Tine glory and the permanency of this nation seem to form no part of the concern of the present Government. Ministers appear to have no object beyond their own advantage and their own ease.— Morning Post. THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.) TRADit or LEEns.—Considering the late period of th• season our cloth markets have been unusually brisk, more particularly for blues, wool-dyed blacks, and other woaded colours ; but in what are termed common colours there has this week and for some time past been but a very limited demand. The makers generally have, however, been acting with caution in these colours, and in consequence the stocks are very low, whilst for woaded colours, from the want of drought, the supply has been unequal to the demand. There have been but few buyers in the town during the week, and business has, therefore, been but slack in the warehouses. BRADFORD MARKET, THE nsDAY.—There has been more inquiry for goods in the piece market to-day, though we do not hear of many sales being effected. There is a considerable degree of firmness among the manufacturers, as the raw material continues to fetch higher prices. There has been little or no vari ition in yarn for several weeks ; the prices are firm, and very likely to be worth a shade more, as wool is not to be had nithout an advance. In the wool market the impressioa is (and it has undergone no change this week), that the prices of almost every description of wool will for some time be fully maintained. Matchings of higher qualities, and New South Wales combing wool, are in good request. THE BARNSLEY DRILL TRADE is in SO brisk a state, that the manufacturers of that article are unable to meet with a sufficient nurnb:-r of :re avers in the town to do the work. We have heard that one manufacturer, who has advanced wages, is so short of hands that he is compelled to send some of his warps to Darlington to be woven. At the public meeting of weavers on Monday night, one of the speakers said he believed that any one of the drill manufacturers would be able to employ nearly all the weavers in Barnsley, they had such good orders for that article. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FRIDAY.—We have ex perienced an active inquiry for all deep combing wools through the week, and a further small advance in them has been obtained. The demands for the finer and shorter combing sorts, as well as for all carding wools, is good, at very firm prices. DESTRUCTION OF THE PALA CE .

MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS Of THIS DAY.) CHRONICLE.—There is no change to notice in the English Stock Market either as regards its general appear ance or the quotations of the different securities. Consols for Money and the 27th inst. 93i to 94 ; Reduced Three and-a, Half per Cents., 1001 to ; New ditto, 101 i to 102 ; Exchequer Bills, 66 to 68 preen. ; India Bonds, 63 to 65 prem. ; India Stock, 261 to 262 ; and Bank Stock, 202 to 203. Spanish Stocks are a shade lower, but the others are nearly the same as yesterday. The cotton trade at Liverpool continues exceedingly active, and all the letters received from thence describe the market as tending very strongly to a further advance in price. The stock has lately been considerably reduced, in consequence of the prevalence of easterly winds, by which no cargoes have been received for nearly three weeks, and also by the increasing demand for cotton which has been experienced in Manchester, and in conse quence of the prosperity of the American and general ex port trade. The stock on hand at Liverpool yesterday was 342,400 bales ; and it is important to observe, in re ply to the ridiculous statement in the Times lately on this subject, that the present quantity of cotton on hand only amounts to a little more than the excess of the importation of 1838 as compared with 1837 ; so that if there had not been a greater amount transmitted to this country this year, there would not, in fact, have been any cotton at all on hand at the present moment, and this does not take into account the stock on hand in 1837, which ought to be deducted from that of the present year. This is rather an awkward fact for our Contemporary. The importation s in 1837 amounted to 971,246 bales, and this year to 1,288,947, being an excess of 317,701 bales over 1837. POST.—The Public Securities have been but little dealt in to-day. They have, however, fully maintained yesterday's quotations, and, at the close of the week's transactions this evening, notwithstanding all that had trans pired during the last few days on the subject of our foreign relations, in connection with which there has been so much to excite apprehension in the minds of the monied interest, the English funds were in no case more than a mere frac tion lower than at the commencement. The Market has, in fact, been so well supported in the face of every fresh announcement tending to cause uneasiness, that parties speculating for the fall perceived at an early period of the week the policy of buying up their accounts for the ensuing settlement, which is now very near at hand ; and this they have done, we understand, to a considerable amount, which has, of course, assisted materially in sustainin prices. The progress of the corn averages in Eng land is at the present time probably a matter to which the attention of the fundholder and capitalist is more anxiously directed than any other. That fresh importations of grain will take place seems to be admitted by every one at all conversant with the subject, and the question for more im• mediate consideration is what will i❑ all likelihood be the extent of them, and what further amount of capital will be embarked in the traffic, as upon this point principally will depend, for a few weeks or peri;aps a tew months to come, the condition of the Money Mar:et, The great houses are, in the meanwhile, from all we can learn, carefully hus banding their resources, in the expectation that a scarcity of money will be felt before long, when an increased rate of in terest will necessarily be given for accommodation. The letters received this morning from Liverpool men tion that a very extensive business continued to be done in cottons at that place, and that the article had again im proved in value. One individual concern, which our com mercial readers will have no difficulty in recognising as the party, is represented to be exercising a powerful influence on the market, and as this establishment has under its con troul a very large proportion of the stock of American on hand, it is fully expected that the present rates will be fully supported for the present. It is added, that unless the importations by other houses should be liberal, it is quite possible that a further advance may presently take place. HERALD.—Serious complaints continue to be made by the West India interests, respecting the alteration which has been effected in their commercial relations with our West India islands, in consequence of the abolition of slavery, which now enables the freed negroes to purchase their necessaries and clothing where they choose, as those articles are no longer dealt out to them by the agents of the owners of estates, inasmuch as they are now paid in wages. These circumstances have completely turned the commerce of all the old West India houses into new channels, and have caused the springing up of a new class of dealers, both here and in all our West Indian settlements. A Mauritius price current of the 29th of June states that to the 25th of that month the exportation of the season's sugar crop had amounted to 74,125,4821b5, beyond which it affords us no information of any utility.

This was a question on the construction of a will, the point being whether the child of Ann Willis took an estate for life, or an estate tail. The gift was to the heir male of the body of Ann Willis and to his heirs. It was argued on one s . de that the word heir in the singular number was descriptive of an individual person, and therefore gave an estate for life only. On the other side it was contended that it was 3 novena collectivum, and gave an estate tail. The LORD CHANCELLOR had a strong opinion on the point, but he took time to look into the cases before he gave judgment. ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 24. THORNE V. FRANCIS. The MASTER of the ROLLS, in giving judgment in this case (which was noticed in The Sun of Saturday), said any individual may appear as next friend to infants in this Court, to protect their interests, but the conduct and motives of that individual would be looked after with the greatest anxiety. Whether this suit should or should not have been filed, he would not let the conduct of it remain in the hands of such a man as Ashton. He would desire the plaintiff to give .a copy of the accounts to be examined by the defen dants, and on their answer, and the explanation of the plain tiff, which he wo 1! hear as early as they chose, shou!d depend whether he ordered Ashton to pay the costs out of his own pocket. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 24. THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR OF EXETER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for a rule to show cause why a quo warranto should not issue, calling on Ed ward M'Gowan to show by what authority he claimed to exercise the offices of Mayor of Exeter and Alderman of that city. The object of the application was, like that made in another case a few days ago, to obtain a deci•ion on the question, whether when the period arrived for the Mayor to be elected, and for some of the Aldermen to go out of office and others to be elected, the old Aldermen had a right to vote in the election of the Mayor, before re tiring, or whether they were bound to withdraw, and the election of the new Aldermen to be completed before the election of the Mayor was decided. The Court granted the rule. THE QUEEN V. THE REV. A. GATHERCOLE. In this case the defendant had been convicted upon a criminal information for publishing in the Paper called the Watchnum, a libel on certain nunneries at Stockton and Darlington. Mr. WATSON, in mitigation of punishment, contended that the object of the defendant was to attack the Romanist system of nunneries, not to malign those who alight happen to be inmates of such establishments. Mr. Justice PATTESON before delivering the judgment of the Court rear! the libel, which called nunneries " bro thels for the Priests of the Popish religion :" described them as a disgrace to Christianity and humanity ; said that all such Popish stews ought to be burned to the ground, care being first taken of the unhappy victims of the system ; and it then went on to ask how many Popish priests en tered the nunneries at Stockton and Darlington each week, and how many infants were born in them in each year and what became of them, whether the holy fathers brought them up, or whether they were murdered out of hand or not." This was the libel. The defendant said that he i .tended only to reflect on the system, hut the jury found that he intended to reflect upon individuals. The defendant had alleged that he believed what he stated, be cause he had read accounts of the mischiefs of auricular con fessions. and be looked on them as often productive of crimes. But that showed that he was a person of very little understanding. His Lordship grievously regretted that a clergyman of the Church of England should be so totally devoid of the brightest jewel of Christianity—Chris tian charity—as to entertain and express such opinions. The Court felt that the defendant had been guilty of a se rious offence, but as it appeared that he was not able to pay any large fine, and would not be able to bear any length ened imprisonment, the Court took those circumstances into consideration, and sentenced him to be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea for the space of three calendar months. THE QUEEN V. THE VESTRYMEN OF ST. MARGARET, LEICESTER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cause against a rule for a m an d amus to t h e vestrymen of St. Margaret's, Leicester, calling upon them to assemble and make a rate fOr the repairs of the Church. The question for the con sideration of the Court arose on the construction of a local Act of Parliament. Lord DENMAN, in the course of his observations on the application, remarked, " It is said that we have no power to call on a vestry to make a rate ; but in all cases we can call on the vestry to meet and consider the making of a rate. I think, however, that this Court is not so limited in its power ; for, when an Act of Parliament requires some act to be done by a particular body, and that body either refuses to do the act, or collusively avoids the doing of it, I am of opinion that we possess the power to compel its being done by virtue of the Act. That is the case in the present instance, and I am, therefore, of opinion that the rule ought to be absolute. Mr. Justice Patterson, Mr. Justice Williams, and Mr. Justice Coleridge, all concurred with the Lord Chief Jus tice.—The rule accordingly was made absolute. BAIL COURT, Nov. 24. THE GREENWICH POOR-LAW UNION V. THE CHURCHWAR DENS, OVERSEERS, &C., OF ST. NICHOLAS, DEPTFORD. In this case the Attorney-General moved that the Court quash the answer made by the Churchwardens and Over seers, the Governors and Directors of the parish of St. Nicholas, Deptford, to the mandamus granted by the Court to compel these parties to pay into the hands of the Treasurer of the Greenwich Poor-law Union the sum of 1,0731., which ought to have been paid in October last, as the poor -rates for that parish. The Learned Gen tleman proceeded to remark, that finding the poor in the workhouse were starving, in consequence of the non-pay ment of the rates for the parish of St. Nicholas, the Guar dians of the Union had brought the case into that Court, when Mr. Justice Littledale granted a mandamus to com pel the Churchwardens and Overseers, the Governors and Directors, to pay the money. In terms of this nzan daunts the Guardians of the Greenwich Union issued three several precepts calling on the defendants.to pay the money into the hands of the Treasurer. The first was issued in April, the second in July, and the third in October last. The answer of the defendants was that they were not, when these precepts were issued against them, able to pay the amount demanded by previous precepts, and that, being unable to raise a poor-rate, they were not in a con dition to meet the demands of the precepts. The precepts were issued in accordance with the orders, rules, and regu lations of the Poor-law Commissioners, and therefore were quite legal. He was aware the defence to be set up by the defendants was, that at the time the last precept was i,:sued, they had only 46/. odd in their hands, and that they had then expressed their readiness to pay that over to any party the Guardians of the Greenwich Union might ap point. He was also aware that they admitted having since recovered from the parishioners 1931. which they were also willing to pay, making the sum altogether 2391. But this was no defence at all. He maintained that the defendants had at the time the first of the three precepts were issued the sum of 1,0701. odd in their hands, though they refused to pay it over to the Treasurer of the Union. But even if they had not had the amount in their possession, they ought to have raised it in obedience to the precepts of the Guardians, by imposing a poor-rate on the parishioners. 'They had the pow er t o ra i se th e money b y t h e imposition of such a rate. Mr. ERLE, who was for the defendants, said they had not the power of making a rate. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—No such thing. There is no local Act in existence which prevents their imposing a rate in such a case as the present. So far from this there is a local Act which expressly enjoins them to make such a rate as often as it shall he required. Mr. ERLE showed cause why the answer to the manda mus ought not to be quashed, and why the mandamus ought to be set aside. The LEARNED JUDGE, at the conclusion of Counsels' arguments, said that he had considerable doubts as to the validity of the precepts issued by the Guardians of the Greenwich Uni'n. The Attorney-General admitted that they had only been issued according to the rules and regu lations of the Poor-law Commissioners. Now, he rather leant to the opinion that the precepts ought to have been issued under the special authority of the Poor-law Com missioners. He would, therefore, dismiss the motion of the Attorney-General in the meantime, as the matter could be brought before the Court again in another form. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nor. 24. HITCHCOCK V. WALFORD. Mr. Sergeant GOUEBURN applied to-day to have this case put in the list of new trials for next te rm . Thi s was an a ction of trespass against a clergyman for removing a grave stone, i n which the Court had recommended that a ad p ocossu s should be entered ; b ut h e moved now, on an - affidavit of the plaintiff, in which he swore that defendant had recently stated that, as soon as he could get the judg ment of the Court, he would bury the first pauper that died in his parish in the vault. The Court granted a rule to show cause. FECTOR V. BEACON.

On a former day Mr, Thesiger had obtainid a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why judgment should not be entered up on that certificate, and the affidavits on which that motion was made merely set forth the certificate itself. After hearing Counsel for and against the application, the Court said that they could not hear him at that late hour ; and as Monday, beinc , the last day of Term, will be fully occupied with cases of practice, they thought that the rule must be enlarged until next term.—Rule enlarged accordingly. CONSISTORY COURT, Nor. 24. OKEDEN v. OKEDEN. This was a suit for a divorce on the grounds of adultery, promoted by Mr. D. R. Okeden against Ellen his wife- The Court decreed its sentence of divooce a mensa et thorn. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 24. John Potter, described as a commission agent, was op posed by Mr. Woodroffe for two creditors, named Wynne and Moore, the former a brass-founder and the latter a timber-merchant and print-seller, Upper St. Martin's-lane. He was likewise opposed by Messrs. Moore, pianoforte makers, in Bishops ate-street. The insolvent had taken the benefit of the Act on three former occasions. The present was his fourth appearance in the character. The complaint against him was that be had, by swindling, got considerably into debt. The COURT, for his generi.r.l misconduct, remanded the insolvent for six months. Miss Louisa Long, the keeper of a boarding-house in St. James's-place, and daughter of the late proprietor of Long's Hotel, Bond -street, was opposed by a creditor named Wetherill. The insolvent gave a warrant of attor ney to the opposing creditor, who entered up judgment and issued execution ; but, before it could he executed, a bro ker, named De Coui•cy, to whom she was indebted, took away a part, of the furnipre, worth about 40/. The insol vent's father left 16,0001., but the two executors had be come bankrupts, and three bills, and supplemental bills, had been filed in Chancery, which were still pending. The amount likely to be realised by the estate depended upon the payment of bonds and securities of gentlemen of fashion who bad run up bills at the hotel. One of these gentle men, a Mr. Best, owed a bill of about 1,300/. ; and from Sir Watkin Lewis there was a bond of about 1,400/. This bond was originally 1,8001., but about 400/. had been paid off. The amount of the insolvent's debts was 800/., and she bad no assets. The solicitor in the Chancery suits was appointed assignee, and Miss Long was discharged forth with.

The complainant stated that be was a dog-dealer, and was a frequent visitor at Crawley's. On Tuesday night he was there, and had an altercation with an acquaintance named Jacobs. Mr. Alderman LAINSON concurred with Alderman Har mer in fining the defendant Is. Mr. Hobler then prayed that the complainant might be Veld to bail to keep the peace, as he had threatened to "do for" Mr. Crawley. His disposition was shown by his wantonly smashing to death, with his fist, three linnets he had in a small paper bag at the time the above affray occurred. The Magistrates, however, thought it unnecessary to do more than exact a promise from the complainant that he would abstain from visiting Crawley's house in future. MARLBOROUGH- STREET. Policeman filmer, C 130, who was charged with hav ing obtained ten shillings from a French woman, named St. Ange, was brought before Mr. DYER for final examination. Mr. DYER fined him 51., or two months' imprisonment, with, hard labour. Aylin was charged on suspicion of having stolen two great coats, the property of Sr Edward L. Bulwer. The coats were stolen from the stables, to which it was believed the prisoner had contrived to gain access.—ln order to give time for further inquiry, the prisoner was re manded for a week. UNION-HALL. Ellen Murphy, an Irishwoman, was charged before Mr. JEREMY with robbery. The prisoner said she was drunk, and did not know what she was about at the time. LAMBETIL STREET. Shelswell, the officer, communicated to the sitting Magis trates, Messrs. NORTON and COMBE, the particulars of what he had done in the case of Prince Christophe, who is better known by the cognomen of the " Black Prince." The Magistrates inquired what had become of Mrs. Patterson ; and Shelswell replied that she had arrived in Baker-street before him, and there declared that no power on earth could separate her from the Prince, and that she was determined to stick to him through all hii fortunes, whether privation or prosperity. Shelswell said that he had among the documents deli. vered up to him belonging to Patterson, the husband, abun • dant proof that he had purchased her for 500 dollars, and had been subsequently married to her on the 23d of April 1829, in the county of Prince George, according to the, laws of Virginia, but it appeared she had made up her mind to cut him altogether.
